Star football recruits are used to being overwhelmed with attention by the nation's top programs but Norcross, Georgia running back Alvin Kamara wasn't expecting the level of attention he recently received from Alabama.

"I counted!" Kamara told Rivals.com. "And I took pictures. I was shocked. I didn't
expect there to be that many in the mailbox. When I opened it, it was
overflowing and some of them fell out."

Beginning September 1 of a recruit's junior year, coaches are permitted to send them written materials via mail. While there are limits as to what kinds of materials can be sent, there is no limit as to how many letters a coach may send a recruit.

Kamara said that despite being overwhelmed by the amount of mail he received from the Tide, he considers Alabama one of the early contenders for his services.

"I went there [for junior day] and it went well. I liked the atmosphere," Kamara said.
"It's SEC football. It's big-time football. You can feel it when you go
up there."
